ETCHED has undoubtedly been disappointing though she's probably been waiting for this sort of trip and her overall form can see her off the mark. Evening Hush makes a quick reappearance after her defeat by Fiuntach over 1m1f at Wexford on Saturday, where she looked in need of further. The winner's stable is represented by the newcomer Finian's Bay, a daughter of Galileo and a half-sister to a winner over this trip. Miss Montana is by High Chaparral out of a Ribblesdale winner so this will be her trip and her yard has been in good form.
